White Tie No. 2002 by Farrow & Ball is a pale, creamy white inspired by traditional starched cotton. It adds a soft warmth without feeling yellow, thanks to a subtle touch of black pigment that keeps the tone balanced and refined. Use White Tie to create calm, elegant rooms with a welcoming glow—especially in spaces with natural light where you want a gentle, lived-in softness.
For a delicate, layered palette, pair White Tie with Matchstick, String, and New White for tonal warmth and subtle contrast. If you’re looking for a crisp complementary white for adjacent trim or ceilings, Wimborne White is a classic choice.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: White and Light Tones.
